13 points since the slope of a vertical line is undefined, is it possible for vertical lines to be parallel.

Yes, it is possible for vertical lines to be parallel.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have two vertical lines- say one at x=4 and one at x=5, the x coordinate will always equal either 4 or 5. Since 4 and 5 are not the same number, the two lines will never touch, making them parallel.

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
